What Makes 800T the Original and Only True 800-Speed Tungsten-Balanced Film for Still Photography
Posted by CineStill on
When searching for CineStill films have you come across any âbrand newâ color films âmade byâ random brands lately? Are their claims strikingly similar somehow? Have they cracked the CineStill code? No, they have notâŚÂ Through thorough quality assurance, we have concluded that true 800T â utilizing our meticulous and unique production process â is the only color film that can stand behind the claim of being both 800-speed and Tungsten balanced. This article will further explain how we came to this conclusion and go into detail showing the results of our extensive testing. We are not here to be nit-picky or point fingers and name names â which might get a little confusing â but some names may sound familiar to you by now. Those â800Tâ imitations and â400Dâ generics (repurposed from existing 500-speed or 250-speed motion picture film, respectively) are not representative of the original motion picture filmâs quality nor the performance of CineStill filmsâ sensitivity and color fidelity. Although they may replicate the signature CineStill red halation glow, they are only somewhat comparable to expired film, in that they appear age fogged with shifted color-balance and exhibit a slower effective film-speed (200-400 ISO at best) resulting in a film not suitable for proposed use, let alone low-light photography; that is unless you like underexposed/expired film. For those looking for fresh film, we are fortunate to still have several other excellent high-speed color films available today (even with the recent unavailability of 400H and C200) â from UltraMax and Portra 400 to Lomo 800 and Portra 800 â but 800T is still the only tungsten-balanced, true 800-speed film made for still photography. Anything else, isnâtâŚ
